Business outlook
Pros
The US Air Force culture is very similar to corporate culture. It was easy to transition from active duty to government contracting. It is easy to work with the US Air Force as a government contractor. As active duty, 30 days of paid time off per year was awesome! Full benefits for medical, dental, and vision was also nice. Job security and a stipend for housing and food was also a great benefit.
Cons
As with any branch of the military, the obligation to be on-call 24 hours per day, 7 days per week can be frustrating. Unfortunately, personnel that are not performing well are able to remain in the work force well past when an underperforming civilian counterpart would have been terminated for the same performance.
